May I suggest to setup all our web on same server, especially since a
lot use perl-Catalyst (buchan's one, epoll and the one I did to manage
mirror).

May I also suggest all our web be installed using RPM ?
Notice I got some issue using catalyst in fcgi mod, but it works fine in
server mode + apache as proxy.

Yup, especially if we have to work on them :)

+ MGA::Mirror, the tools currently on distrib-coffee to manage mirrors.

I want to migrate it ASAP because http on distrib-coffee is not reliable
due to load made by some distributions.

Can I take this part since I know pgsql and I'll need them myself.

BTW: I hope pgsql can have a dedicated fs, it can help to avoid out of
space.

Once pgsql + catalyst is installed, this part is easy to do. Notice it
need a MTA to work, only to send mail.

MY 2 cents.
